Template Details

hexo-theme-mango is a Hexo blog theme published by mango-tree on GitHub under the MIT license. The theme is enabled via the theme field in _config.yml, and installation involves cloning the repository into the themes/mango directory.

Configuration options cover the navigation menu (menu), RSS link (rss), "Read More" link after excerpts (excerpt_link), Fancybox toggle, sidebar position (left, right, bottom, or false), sidebar widgets (category, tag, tagcloud, archives, recent_posts), Google Analytics ID, favicon path, and Twitter and Google+ accounts. Image display relies on Fancybox, and images can be inserted using Markdown image syntax or the fancybox tag plugin.

The theme requires Hexo 2.4 or higher; enabling RSS requires installing the hexo-generator-feed plugin separately. Development dependencies include Grunt 0.4+, with tasks such as default, fontawesome, fancybox, and clean for downloading or cleaning Fancybox and Font Awesome resources. The repository was last updated in 2019, and the demo site is mingyu.kim.

How this score is calculated

Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.

The catalog identifies Hexo as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
